As the latest update for Java caused a couple of issues with the chat applet, we have replaced it with a new Flash based one. If you wish to use the old version, Click Here

We have also set up a Discord Server for the same purpose as this chat

If the above applete does not load or you are fed up with it then Click Here To Download a program called mIRC. Its virus checked so you dont have to worry. You still have to obey the below rules. It can be accessed via the command /server irc.synirc.net -j #spp or follow this link: Alternate chat. If it says "Server not found", try reconnecting.

#SPP - The Chatroom Rules

The following listed ban times are standard, but chat room ops may change the length of your ban to whatever length they feel is necessary.
"Untimed Ban" refers to a ban that does not have a set expiry time. Untimed Bans expire when the ban list is cleared, which happens every couple of days.

If you are warned and choose to ignore your warning, you will be banned instead.
If you break a rule that you've just seen somebody else also get warned for, you may be banned instead of warned.

Repeated offences may result in you being permanently banned from the chat room.

These rules may be strict, but they are in place to keep the chatroom atmosphere safe for all members. If you have any chatroom related inquiries, please feel free to send a private message to any of the operators.

1. Do not write in all capitals.

5 minute ban -- Using all capitals as a method of communication is seen as as shouting and can be very rude. Please be considerate of all the members and staff members and don't shout at them.

2. No swearing.

5 minute ban -- Swear words, like shouting, can be seen as rude and offensive, so please don't use them.

3. No inappropriate topics.

5+ minute ban -- Please remember #SPP is meant to be enjoyable for all ages. If you question whether a topic is appropriate, don't bring it up or ask a staff member first.

4. Do not repeat yourself.

5 minute ban -- It can take time for members to respond to something said in the chat, so please give us time to respond.

5. Please don't flood or spam.

5+ minute ban -- Flooding is where you post a lot in a short amount of time. Spamming is posting nonsense. This also includes character spamming, such as !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

6. Do not flame or troll members.

5 minute ban -- Because #SPP is for all ages, we don't tolerate any name calling, racism or baiting, so please don't come here just to cause trouble. This includes flaming/trolling in private messages too.

7. Don't advertise your site.

5 minute ban -- We know you want people to join your chat/website, but this isn't the place to seek out new members.

8. Don't ask for access.

Warning, then 5 minute ban -- Do not ask to become a staff member, that is not how we add to our team. Asking to become one will just disqualify you in the future.

9. Do not argue with the OPs about the rules.

5 minute ban -- The rules for #SPP are non negotiable. If you feel you have been unfairly banned, you may always private message us or post in the relevant topic. However, being hostile about it will just extend your ban.

5 minute ban -- This includes Action Replay, M3 and R4 cards. Serebii.net does not condone the use of illegal devices, and this does carry over to the chatrooms.

12. Don't roleplay or abuse the /me command.

Warning, then 5 minute ban -- We understand roleplaying can be fun, but please keep roleplaying out of #SPP as this chatroom is not a roleplaying chat.

13. Do not ask for a personal relationship.

5 minute ban -- There are plenty of dating chatrooms on the internet, #SPP is not one of them.

14. No impersonation.

5+ minute ban -- Do not pretend to be another member or use a name similar to any other member. This includes regular members, #SPP staff members and network staff members.

15. Do not ban evade.

Untimed ban -- If you find yourself having been banned and you are unclear how long the ban is, feel free to drop the staff members a private message. If you evade your ban, this will result in an untimed ban, so don't do it.

5 minute ban -- Being friendly is great! but don't ask for personal details (where someone lives, their gender/age, who they're dating, etc). We don't want our members to be uncomfortable.

18. Do not use abuse text modifiers.

Warning, then 5 minute ban -- Using italics once in a while is fine, but please do not make that your preferred way of typing.

19. Do not attention seek.

5 minute ban -- #SPP is a chatroom for everyone to enjoy, so please don't come here with the intention of fishing for attention. If you have a deadly medical condition, please see a doctor, not #SPP!

20. Do not complain about a #SPP-Wifi ban.

Warning, then 5 minute ban -- Please do not come to complain about a ban you received in #SPP-Wifi. If you have any questions, private message an OP.

21. Don't ask for battles, trades or rescues from any video game.

Warning, then 5 minute ban -- Pokemon battles and trades go in #SPP-Wifi, all others belong in another outside of Serebii.net related chatrooms.

22. No mini-opping.

Warning, then 5 minute ban -- We have staff members for a reason, please let us do our jobs!

23. Please speak English.

Warning, then 5 minute ban -- English is the preferred speaking language of #SPP. If you would like to speak another language you will have to do it in another chatroom.

24. No cloning.

Warning, then 5 minute ban -- Please do not connect to the chatroom with multiple nicknames. If you have a sibling who also connects, please let us know ahead of time.

25. Do not evade scripts.

5+ minute ban -- The scripts are there for a reason, if we see you bypassing the triggers we will ban you for a length of time we see fit.

26. Keep your nicknames appropriate.

5+ minute ban -- This is self explanatory. If you question your nickname, don't use it.

27. Do not trick members into triggering scripts.

Untimed ban -- If we catch you doing this, you will get into trouble, so please don't do it.

28. No false reports.

5+ minute ban -- Do not fake evidence or logs to get another member punished. If we catch you doing this, you will be removed.

And please keep in mind that just because this chat is part of a Pokemon related website, it doesn't mean that the members will always be discussing Pokemon 24/7. If you have a question about Pokemon, please feel free to ask us, but also remember that www.serebii.net is there to help you.
